    Cannibal holocaust - 90 minutes of rape, dismemberment, real animal killing and a terrible soundtrack.

    I don't mean a film that's crap, a film that shocks, disturbs you, I ask anyone to watch Antichrist and it will affect you. It messes with your head.

    That's satire, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

    Unless you find someone's extreme knowledge of the complete works of Genesis and Whitney Houston disturbing! :)

    Without doubt the most disturbing, not that it shows much but it implies so much... Disgusting really now in retrospect

    Hostel. Watched it when I had a pre-paid cinema pass up in Dublin and pretty much went to see everything to justify the price. I left that movie feeling physically ill.

    True. The rape scene was pretty gruesome alright

    Not disagreeing, but I thought it was funny... I'd say Christian Bale in real life would not be too unlike the Patrick Bateman character, hence how he played him so well! :D

    The Crying Game

    The part where she/he got the langer out shocked me

    Deliverance. I was 12.



    *shudder*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Rise of the footsoilder. The torture scene stayed with me for a while. Very violent film.
    Requim for a dream. Maybe the bleakest film I've ever seen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    The Bad Lieutenant was a weird film, anyone ever see it?

    A super film. One of the best British gangster films I've seen. The pizza cutter scene is class. I loved Gangster No 1 as well. Exceptionally violent too

    Blue Velvet was pretty fooked up.

    - but did you think it was good? I thought it was great.. love films which do this to you, it like they change your view at things.

    The last one that quite shocked me was "Drive" ,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=CWX34ShfcsE

    -beginning was great -superb music,

    (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9J4R4KYv-s&feature=related ...music.. :) but things went a bit crazy.. :pac:

    Before that "Apocalipto"

    Seeing Harvey Keitel's langer was hard to take. I've never seen the full uncut version of the nun rape scene. Supposed to be very harrowing. I thought the film had a lot to say about the power of redemption. I thought it was a very religious film, strangely enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭Birdnuts


    The early 80's film Pieces - as the tagline says " chainsaw massacres don't just happen in Texas";)

    The Hostel was pretty rough too - it would put you off back packing in Slovakia;)

    Yeah i saw the uncut version. Difficult to watch to be honest.

    Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was a bit mental... Documentary style

    I watched A Serbian Film and Irreversible and I still maintain that The Ring is the only film that messed with my head. I will never forget the night I watched that..

    Its not that scary or even good, it just got under my skin and I felt really weird walking out of the cinema.. I never watched a shock/horror film in the cinema after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Sooopie


    I have to say I avoid torture porn & the likes of that antichrist movies like the plague

    I don't understand the appeal to be honest,

    Its all rather sick


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Irreversible, probably.

    Maybe the uncut edition of A Serbian Film.

    Cannibal Holocaust (again, uncut) is a pretty harrowing film.

    I agree with the person who said the Ring above. It's not shocking exactly, it just gets under your skin and leaves you in a peculiar state of mind for a time afterwards. A complete psychological mind **** of a movie.

    A Clockwork Orange

    Looking at it now its very good (and still very shocking).
    But the first time I seen it I was young (11 or 12) and the intro scared the **** out of me! I was so scared I had to stop watching once the intro was over!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Shortbus.. you know it's gonna be bad when the opening scene is a guy sucking his own dick.

    Good movie though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 146 ✭✭alphanine


    By a very very long way, the uncut version of "A Serbian Film". Does the recent clip of a 2 year old Chinese girl being knocked down count?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    Any film that used the term 'squaw' in the script i.e. any pre-1955 Western referencing American Indians.

    Fair point, if you are into film tho, I don't think it's appeal... For me it's about checking out new directors or controversial directors...

    escape from the planet of the apes...... the bleakness and abruptness of the last few moments is only made worse when you're watching it in a dark room at 2.40am


    Also BBC's Threads; a film for the whole family :P

    the whole genre of torture porn sends me running for the hills

    and for the likes of von trier, i like his other stuff, but antichrist just sounds way too fcuked up & a try hard attempt at him to be controversial


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Sooopie


    Before the devil knows you're dead

    now thats messed up, messed up in a good way though

    I was just going to mention Irreversible. Tough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Threads for me as well, harrowing stuff.

    Once Were Warriors has some shocking violence in it, fantastic film but the wifebeating scenes are hard to watch, Tameura Morrisson is amazing in it.

    That wasn't bad. Thought it was gonna be very gruseome but was let down. :'(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 245 ✭✭GetInTheHole!


    "The Human Centipede" is without doubt the must messed up thing I have ever watched..

    The b*astarding thing caught me unawares on the SciFi channel one night and I still feel sick at the thoughts of it...
